Application filed June as, we. Serial No. 571,457.

This invention relates to improvements in centerless grinding machines and has for an object to provide in machines of this character a rotary work-holder upon which the work is secured during the grinding operation.

The invention has also for its object to provide in a centerless grinding machinea work-holder capable of floating movements toward and from the work-engaging face of a grinding wheel.

The present invention has also for its object to provide a centerless grinding machine in which the floating work-holder referred to is automatically actuated to present the work to the action of the grinding-wheel; to reciprocat-e the work during the inding operation and to retract the work rom operative position. r I A further object of. this invention is to provide a centerless grinding machine embodying therein a floating work-holder and a work-controlling wheel operative in conjunction with a grinding wheel whereby the work-controlling wheel automatically acts to control the rotation of the work during the grinding operation.

Other objects of the invention will be apparent from the following description and claims.

In centerless grinding machines it has been the common ractice to gravitationally support the work u on a rest between a workcontrolling whee and a grinding-wheel. In accordance with the present invention, the work is not merely supported upon a work rest but on the contrary is carried by a workholder and the latter term is herein employed in this sense as distinguishing from workrests of prior constructions. v

The preferred embodiment of the invention, as herein disclosed, is particularly adapted for finishing to size work that has been rough-formed to shape and approximate size, such as triangular cams having a uniform length of diameter. During the grinding operation the work is rotated with one side of its periphery engaging. a workcontrolling wheel and its opposite side a grindin wheel. It is therefore evident when he intersections of the consecutive diameters of the work do not define a point, i. e., when they describe a curve, the axis of rotation of the work must of necessity be free to float or vibrate in order to maintain the .desired form of the works To this end the work-holder, in its preferred embodiment, comprises an eccentric spindle-extension journaled in the free end of an arm pivotally supported upon a rotary turret and yieldingly held against an adjustable stop by a suitable spring. The turret carries a plurality of these workholder sustaining arms and is intermittently rotated by suitable mechanism to succes-. sively present the work-articles, which. are secured upon the spindle-extensions, to the action of a work-controlling wheel which latter advances the work to the action of a grinding-wheel. The grinding-wheel is preferably of the cylinder or cup-type of which the end-face acts upon the work and is rotated by operative connectionswith the main-shaft of the machine at a uniform and comparatively high speed. The work-controlling wheel is rotated at a comparatively low speed and in a direction whereby the direction of rotation of the work under the action of the work-controlling wheel corre sponds to the direction of rotation of the grinding-wheel at the point of contact. The rotating work-controlling wheel is in retracted or inoperative position during the work-presentin movement of the turret and is then advance to engage the work, thereby swinging the work-holding arm away from its stop against the action of its holding spring. The work and its carrying-spindle are by this frictional enga ement rotated at a surface speed correspon ing with that of the work controlling wheel and while rotating in this fashion the work continues its advance under the feeding action of the work-controlling wheel into engagement with the'end face of the grinding wheel, the work maintaining however its surface speed during the grinding operation. Before retracting the work-controlling wheel, its feeding action is preferably suspended for a short period to allow for reaction of the parts. During the grinding operation the workholder carrying turret is rapidly reciprocated to uniformly wear down the grinding surface and to obtain a polished finish, after which the turret is retracted sufficiently to permit the intermittent work-positioning movements thereof.

In the accompanying drawings, Fig. 1 is a front elevation of a centerless grinding machine embodying the present improvements. Fig. 2 is a top-plan view of the same. Fig. 3 is an end elevation of the machine as viewed from the left in Fig. 1. Fig. a is a sectional view substantially on the line a2.10 of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the work-controlling wheel feedslide. Fig. 6 is a fragmentary view in elevation of the work-holder carrying turret. Fig. 7 is a View partly in section ofaworkholder carrying arm. Figs. 8 and 9 are detail plan views of portions of the turret indexing mechanism. Fig. 10 is a view in elevation of a cam to grind which the present machine is particularly designed.

Referring to the drawings, the machine frame 1 is provided with suitable bearings as 2 in which is journaled the main actuating shaft 3., carrying at one end a belt-pulley 4. The belt-pulley 4c is connected by means of a belt 5 ,with a suitable driving pulley (not shown).

Secured upon the'main shaft 3 is a wideface belt-pulley 6 connected by means of a belt 7 with a pulley 8. The pulley 8 is carried by a shaft 9, suitably journaled in a carria e 10 and carrying at one end a cup or cylindrical grinding wheel 11. The carriage 10 is slidingly supported upon the machine frame for movements in the direction of the axis of the shaft 9 to adjust the position of the grinding wheel 11. This adjust ment may be effected in a well known manner by means of a screw-shaft 12 having the usual worm and worm-gear connections with ahand-wheel 13. It is to be understood that upon adjustment of the carriage 10, the belt 7 travels along the wide face of pulley 6.

Facing the grinding wheel 11 is a cylindrical work-controlling wheel 14 carried by a shaft 15, substantially parallel to the shaft 9 and sufficiently offset therefrom whereby vertical tangents to the front faces of the wheels 11 and 14: lie in substantially the same vertical plane. It is apparent that shafts 9 and 15 may be'in alinement by constructing the wheels 11 and 14: of e ual size. The shaft 15 is journaled in a sli ing carriage 16 confined to movements in the direc tion of the axis of the shaft 15. There is however a double movement of the carriage 16 in this direction. One of these move ments is a work-controlling wheel positionin or adjusting movement effected manua ly by actuation of the hand-wheel 17 which rotates a worm 18 geared with a worm-wheel 19. The worm wheel 19 is carried by a screw-shaft 20 suitabl" journaled against endwise movement in t e carriage 16 and threaded into a block 21 dove-tailed into the base of the carriage 16. The bloclr 21 being immovable during this ad'ustmemt it is apparent that'by rotation of t e hand= wheel 17 the carriage 16 is slidingly moved menses upon the block 21 to efiect a minute adjustment of the position of the work-controlling wheel 14.

The other movement of the carriage 16 in the same line is efiected automatically for a purpose which will be apparent. After the described manual adjustment of the carriage 16, it is clear that the worm 18, wormwheel 19 and screw-shaft 20 securely lock said carriage upon the block 21 all of which may thereafter be reciprocated as a unit. This is accomplished automatically from a grooved cam 22 carried by a cross-shaft 2f suitably journaled in the machine frame. The shaft 23 carries a worm-wheel 24c geared with a worm 25 secured upon a countershaft 26. Loosely journaled upon the oppo site end of the counter-shaft 26 is a beltpulley 27 connected by means of a belt 28 with a pulle 29 secured upon the mainshaft. The elt-pulley 27 carries one element 30 of a clutch of which the coacting element 31 is keyed upon the counter-shaft 26 and is longitudinally slidable thereupon under the action of a manually o erated clutch-shifting lever 32 which may e held in clutching and unclutching positions in any suitable or well known'manner.

The grooved cam 22 is entered by a roller 33 depending from a slide-plate 34 which is thereafter reciprocated from the cam in a direction transverse to the axis of the shaft 15. The slide-plate 3% is guided in suitable ways provided for the purpose and upon its upper side carries two cams 35 and 36. The cam 35 is secured in position by means of a bolt 37 while the cam 36 is supported for pivotal adjustment upon the slide-plate by means of a screw 38. The effective position of the cam 36 is determined by a slide-bar 39, longitudinally adjustable upon the slideplate by means of a screw-bolt 4:0 and having a swiveled wedge-surface 39 bearing against the cam 36. The cam 36 engages an abutment ll depending from the block 21 and acts to slowly feed said block together with the carriage secured thereupon in the direction of the axis of shaft 15. Return movements are effected by the actionof the cam 35 upon a roller 42 also depending from the block 21. It is to be understood from the foregoing that the work-controlling wheel 14 may be manually adjusted and is automatically fed axially of shaft 15.

Rotation is im arted to the shaft 15 and the work-controlling wheel 14 carried thereby from either one of two driving devices selective at will. To this end a clutch-elm ment is slidingly keyed upon the shaft 15. This clutch-element comprises a peripherab ly grooved collar 43 straddled by a fork 44 ,carrying studs, as 45, engaging lheperipheral groove in the collar. The fork 44 may be rocked upon a fulcrum-pin 4610 laterally shift the clutch-element by means of a man- '50 of the collar 43. The worm-wheel 48 is geared with a-worm 51 upon a cross-shaft 52 carrying vat one end a pulley 53 connected h 1 means of a belt 54 with a pulley 55 carried by the main-shaft 3 of the machine. These driving connections effect comparatively slow rotations of the work-controlling wheel 14 during the grinding operation. The speed of rotation of the wheel 14 may "be increased materially, when dressing the work-engaging face of the wheel, by the provision of separate driving means. To this end, the collar 48 may be shifted to the left (Fig. 1 of the drawings) by manual manipulation of the arm 47 thereby causing an interengagement of clutch-elements be tween the collar 43 and a pulley 56 loosely journaled upon the shaft 15. The pulley 56 is connected by means of a belt 57 with a pulley 58 carried by a shaft 59. suitably -journaled in the slide 16 and carrying at its outer end a pulley 60 which may be belted to any-suitable source of power.

The work to be operated upon by the grinding-Wheels mentioned is placed upon a work-holder comprising a spindle-extension or crank-pin 61 projecting eccentrically from a flange 62 of a spindle 63. The spindle 63 is journaled in suitable ball-bearings provided in the free end of a depending arm 64 and is held against endwise movement in its bearings by means of the flange 62 and lock- I collars 65'threaded upon the opposite end of the spindle. The arm 64 is pivotally carried at its upper end by a .pintle 66 journaled to permit oscillatory movements of the arm, i. e., floating movements of the work-holder,

in suitable ball-bearings provided in a bearing-bracket 67 boltedupon or otherwise carried by a turret head 68. The turret head 68 carries four work-holder sustaining arms 64 such as that described and which are equally spaced on the turret-head. Each of these arms 64 is acted upon by. a spring 69 to yieldingly hold the arms against an adjustable stop 70 provided on a bracket 71 depending from the turret-head' The turret-head is carried bya vertical shaft 72 suitably journaled in bearings provided in a vertical boss 73 of a horizontal turret-slide 74, which is reciprocated in suitable ways in a direction at right angles to the axes of the wheels 11 and 14. To this end the turret-slide 74 carries a cam-roll 75 acted upon by a cam 76 and which cam-roll is indicated as held against the cam by a weight 77 suspended by a cord 78 passing over an idler 79 and connected with the slide. The cam 76 is carried by a shaft 80 upon which is secured a gear 81 in mesh with an intermediate gear 82 in turn meshing with a suitable gear upon the worm-wheel carrying shaft 23.

The turret head is rotated 90 at the finish of each grinding operation to successively present the work-holding arms 64 in operative position with respect to the wheels 11 and 14. To this end the turret fulcrumshaft 72 is coupled with an indexing mechanism which may be of any suitable construction, there being illustrated in the accompanying drawings a form of Geneva movement for effecting this result. As illustrated, the turret-shaft 72 carries at its lower end a pin-wheel 83 of which the pins'84 project from the lower surface thereof, while its upper surface is provided with a series of diametrical grooves 85 spaced and located intermediate the pins 84. Positioned to successively engage the grooves 85 to rotate the wheel 8? a quarter revolution is a roller 86 carried by a disk 87 suitably secured upon a vertical shaft 88 journaled in the slide 74. That is, for each complete revolution of the disk 87, the roller 86 engages one of the grooves 85 and advances the wheel a quarter revolution, whereupon the roller disengages said wheel. 'The disk 87 is intermittently revolved through the intermediary of a spur-gear 89 carried by the shaft 88 and meshing with a similar gear 90 carried by the upper end of a vertical shaft 91 journaled in the turret-slide 74. At its lower end, the shaft 91 carries a bevel-gear 92 meshing with a similar gear 9?) carried by horizontal shaft 94 journaled in suitable bearings provided on the slide 74. The shaft 94 carries a comparatively wide spur-gear 95 driven from a gear 96 secured upon a shaft 97 slidingly mounted for endwise movements in suitable bearings provided for the purpose. The shaft 97 passes freely through a gear 98 journaled in. a bearing 98' provided in the machine frame suitable to prevent endwise movement of said gear 98 with the shaft97.

The gear 98 is rotated by engagement therewith of a gear 99 secured upon the camshaft 80. While the gears 99 and 98 are rotated continuously during the operation of I the machine, the gear 96 is only intermittently rotated. To this end there is secured upon the outer end of the cam shaft 80 a disk 100 carrying a trip-element 101. Fulcrumed u on the machine frameby means of a pivot-screw 102 is a' lever 103 carrying a complemental trip-element 104 in-the path of movement. of the element 101. During each rotationof the cam-shaft 80, an inclined face on the trip-element 101 en ages a similar face on the element 104 and t ereby rocks the lever 103 against the action of the springs 105 suitably disposed to bear against the upper end of said lever 103. This rocking movement of the lever 103 withdraws a stud 106 carried thereby out of the path of movement of a cam portion 107 of a flange 108 provided on a clutchslceve 109 secured upon the shaft 97. This withdrawal movement of the stud 106 ermits a coil spring 110 surrounding the s aft 97 and bearing upon the clutch sleeve to shift the latter together with the shaft 97 lengthwise, whereby the teeth of the clutchsleeve 109 opcratively engage complemental plutch teeth provided on a laterally project- 1n sleeve 111 of the gear 98.- When the trip-element 101 clears the trip-element 104, the lever 103 is again advanced by the action of the s rings 105, but the partial rotation impartec to the clutch-sleeve 109 by its engagement with the sleeve 111 has now carried the cam-portion107 out of the path of the stud 106, whereupon the latter engages the straight portion of the flange .108, permitting the complemental clutch-elements 109, 111 to remain in engagement to rotate the disk 87 until the cam-portion 107 again engages'the stud 106, thereby disconnectin said clutch-elements. At this time a secon stud 112 carried by the lever 103 enters an aperture in the sleeve 109 to retain the latter, together with the shaft 97 in stationary ineflective position until again permitted to advance by the action of the trip-elements 101, 104.

Locking means is provided to hold the turret-shaft 7 2 stationary during the action of the grindin wheel upon the work, Mounted upon t e slide 74 is a slide-block 113 guided in suitable ways and urged to advance by means of a sprin 114. This slide-block 113 is provided wit a V-shaped notch 115 positioned to successively engage the pins 84 and thereby lock the pin-wheel in operative work-presenting position. A cam 116 is secured upon the shaft 88 and acts upon a roller 117 carried by the slide-block 113 to displace the latter against the action of the spring 114. The action of the cam 116 is timedto release the roller 117 at the time the'rol-ler 86 disen ages each of the grooves 85, whereby t e pin-wheel is promptly locked in operative position.

I When it is desired to dress the operative faces ofthe grinding wheel 11 and the workcontrolling wheel 14, there may be employed the usual device 118 designed for this purpose." In, order 'to throw the device 118 into effective dressing position, it has suitable operative connections with a hand-wheel 119. As hereinbefore stated it is preferred to increase the speed of rotation of the work-controlling wheel during the dressing operation and it is at this time that the belt 57 is employed to drive the shaft 15.

While the present machine is equally adapted for use in grinding a variety of classes of articles in accordance with the principles of centerless grinding machines, it has been more particularly designed to finish to size triangular cams of which consecutive diameters are of equal lengths. A cam of this character is illustrated in Fig. 10 and comprises an irregular periphery 120 having an eccentric cam-shaft aperture 121 and ancntl-tlange 122 into which is threaded a set-screw 123 tor securing the cam upon its cam-shaft. In use, the cam usually operates in the fork of a lever or pitman and for smooth operation it is essential that the cam constantly contacts with opposite sides of the fork without. binding or lost-motion; i. e., consecutive diameters should be of equal lengths. This result is obtained in the present. machine to a substantially accurate degree in spite of the fact that the periphery of the cam is an irregular surface to an extent that the intersections of the diameters do not define a point but a locus of points resembling a hypocycloid.

1n effecting this grinding to size of these cams, they are successively placed upon the work-holders with the spindle-extension or crank-pin 61 within the cam-shaft aperture 121, being secured by seating the set-screw 123 Within a V-shaped groove 124 in the pin 61. Owing to the eccentricity of the camaperture 121, the pin 61 is preferably constructed as equally eccentric with respect to the axis of the spindle 63, whereby less swinging movement of the arm 64 is occasioned. By means of the mechanism described the work-holder carrying turret is intermittently indexed and advanced to present the work to the action of the work-controlling wheel 14, it being understood that the latter wheel is at this time in retracted position and the particular work-carrying arm 64 is'yieldingly held against the stop 70 by means of the spring 69. The cam 22 new acts to slowly feed the rotating workcontrolling wheel toward the rotating grinding wheel 11, thereby engaging the periphcry of the work, first movin t away from the stop 70 and then rotating it by fric- .tional engagement, about the axis of the spindle 63. As before stated, the consecutive diameters of the work do not intersect at a common point and a median point of said intersection locus is therefore selected to correspond substantially with the axis of the spindle .63,whereby while the work will rotate substantially upon said axis, the latter is permitted to float or vibrate toward and from the opposed work-engaging faces of the grinding and work-controlling wheels at distance equivalent to the distance of the median point selected from the locus of the diameter-intersections. This vibration of the work-holder spindle is permitted by the v comprising an element axially sustaining the work for rotation between the grinding and work-controlling wheels, as distinguished from the peripheral work-rests and guides heretofore employed in this class of machines. The provision of means for engaging the work within the periphery thereof, having free floating movements in directions toward and from the operative faces of the grinding and work-controlling wheels comprises an important and novel characteristic of the present improvement in this class of machines. g

The axial feed of the rotating controlling wheel 14? continues while the rotating grinding wheel 11 is acting upon the periphery of the work to grind the latter to size. During the grinding operation the turret 68, together with the work-holders carried thereby, is reciprocated or jog ed in a direction transverse to the axis of t e grinding-wheel 11 under the action of the cam 7 6 and weight 77 as before explained. A neutral point in the axial feed of the work-controlling wheel 14 is now reached to allow for reaction in the parts, whereafter said wheel and turret are retracted and the turret indexed a quarter revolution and advanced to operatively position the next work-holder, at which time the grinding operation is repeated.
